Alright went on a trip. Rode a bus. Thought of it on the way back. Flames as you know are always welcome and lemme make one thing clear to everyone... My poems have no specific rhyming pattern because remember I don't care! Well enjoy and I gotta go study for exams! YIPE!
Bus Ride
Riding a bus to who knows where
As if I really care
Sitting down and dozing off
The old lady across from me has got a bad cough
If she died tonight
Would she go without a fight?
Or would she struggle to survive
Or just take the final dive
Down below
Or to heaven aglow
Two guys, three seats back
Are sniffing what looks like crack
Probably getting high
As cars roll by
Little kids keep looking through the windows
Waving and smiling in their cleans shirts and hair bows
I could care less
I got myself into this mess
With no one to turn to
I just made myself anew
Drowned out useless emotions
That causes all sorts of commotions
I'd cry in front of people
I let my heart out by a steeple
I don't do that anymore
I go throuogh life in bore
Bottling up emotions is my new job
Hiding them from others like a teacher from a doorknob
Before a big test
When I used to try my best
Then I figured that didn't matter either
So I now do neither
Prevent or try
No use to cry
Over little things like that
A stray dog or cat
Emotions are trouble
That can only double
Then I look back at the people in the bus
I little kid's making a fuss
With what looks like a teenager
Or maybe babysitter or a stranger
I see the girl pick her up
And give her a juice cup
She says, "Did mommy make that better?"
And I think what happened to her
She's pretty and smart
Beside her I can see her Pre-Cal chart
Did she make a bad decision?
Or have a simple ambition
To not go far
To throw away her life for a hot guy in a car
I lean back in my seat
The bus stops at another street
Two girls walk in
Who look like they've done a dirty sin
Clothes torn to shreds
Look like they just got out of bed
They sit up front near the driver
I wander if they're just divers
They took the plunge into the unknown
And came up just bones
That's all that was left
After the sharks theft
Their honor and lives
Worse than killing by knives
Torture from the inside out
Did they know what it was about?
Were they just having fun?
Or were they just getting out of the protection of the Son
The bus stops and they get off
As does the old lady with the cough
Trembling down the aisle
As if she had just run a mile
I feel sorry for her but don't show
Emotions are nothing but snow
A good thing at first
Until it gets out of control in a burst
Of speed and force
Cutting you off course
From the things and people you love
And God up above
But wait
He always knows where you are without any bait
Finally my bottle springs a leak
Causing me to sink
Into my chair
I realize I really do care
I pull the handle on the bus hard
Causing my ribs to be jarred
I run out the door
Down the blocks by the shore
Getting dark
I see a shark
I dreaming I think
There isnow brink
Of ocean in my town
And suddenly I'm down
On the ground
And all around
Arms pull at me
Asking me if I can see
And suddenly everything is all clear
As the people that are near
I want to hug every one of them
But inside I condemn
And run home
To a dome
Of love and caring
I feel daring
I run and find my mum
Smelly like some kind of bum
From the bus ride
Emotions I can no longer hide
I hug her and run to my room
And await the doom
That emotion will bring
But they never come and I want to sing
I had it all wrong
It doesn't matter how long
You hide
You'll always show your true side
So don't wait and longer, friends
Go out and make amends
To the sick and the poor
The good food and clean floor
Be thankful for what you got
Because others have not
Anything to love or care
So be aware
Of the things around you
Cause I never knew
But now I do
So go out and make anew!
